Communication changes: this meeting is now project-centric instead of person-centric. Please fill out the status of your API below! We'll go over the list of APIs shipping in V1, and both UX and developers can give updates.

6/1 M3 deadline is days away! If you have items at risk, let Kevin, Dietrich or Faramarz know asap.

First patch for network selection APIs should be coming EOD today (please do this in a follow up to unblock the first patch)

Requires a new fork of platform_hardware_ril for Marionette (will need to update our manifest / fork for mozilla-b2g before the test is enabled -- please disable test for now so that this can land, file follow up for enabling it):

We're just starting to get engaged on B2G now, will be attending the weekly meeting and triage when we can

Our early focus on B2G will include:

builds - daily device images, human readable build ID

l10n - don't know current status here right now, will sync up with Axel (?)

Helping with strategy around convergence (and therefore branching)

Supplementing QA testing (Mobile Test Drivers?)

Helping to finalize the update cadence/strategy

Tracking required Gecko changes/approvals/landings and managing risk to desktop/mobile products while making progress on B2G. Gaia/Gonk approval and tracking volume will likely be too high for Release Management to handle prior to 1.0 (same as mobile)

We're staffing up (please forward anybody with release/project management experience and a love of OSS). Post-1.0 we plan to help with:

Risk management and approvals for Gecko/Gonk/Gaia

Full build/release coordination

...

Current hot topic: Using ESR branch for Gecko version to prevent exponentially more work for engineers/QA with each release

Following up with Kev, and soon JP on finalizing dates/versions

Will send proposal to b2g-internal when ready

What can we do post-1.0?

Reminder, next merge day is 6/4 (a day before release, a day earlier than normal)

Basic multiprocess IndexedDB support is on track for getting done for 6/1

Blob support doesn't seem like it will make it. Is this a problem?
